Just For Us

[Dave Monk]

I stay very busy making things for other people.....either to sell or give away. Occasionally I make something for us.  This is also a good project for me to take to the Farmers Market to show a personalized project.

Made of red oak stained Special Walnut.

What a wonderful piece , Dave !.....The special Walnut stain really works with the red oak!....Do you use about a 4/degree angle for the recess cut ?

Your correct. I set it at 4 degrees using a #5 blade. I plane the back of the recessed piece so I can put a backer over the whole thing.

amazing job

Looks like a lot of fine cutting, love red oak wood, I really need to try the inlay thing. It really looks great, hope to do something similar one day.

The work of  a "pro".  The attention to small and important details always makes you pieces a cut above.  I would not have thought of insetting the circle piece with the initial, but it adds so much class to the overall piece.  Great job.

[Blaughn]

I am impressed.  I have found walnut to be very unforgiving of fine cuts.  I tried to cut one of Shela Landry's plaques in walnut but the drop-outs broke with the grain at the bridge.  Great job!

Great work as always Dave.  It looks so fragile in places and yet the inner circle round the initial is so well cut it is perfectly round.  Very well done.
